Fully loaded with hit singles over era defining riddim re-licks including 'Make It Secure' (on Drum Song), 'One Away' (Satta Massagana), 'Give Them The Ride' (Lecturer) plus the anthemic title track 'Black Woman & Child'. Also included are two safe-cracking combinations with Capleton on 'Babylon A Use Dem Brain' and Edi Fitzroy on 'Princess Black'. One of the most important and successful artists in reggae history, Black Woman & Child remains an essential album almost three decades later."

"Sylford Walker's heart-stopping '70s roots anthems records for Glen Brown are rightfully regarded as holy relics of reggae. The Lamb's Bread album gathers up these classic sides (formerly reissued on the Blood & Fire label) and once again makes them available for the roots disciples. Mixed by King Tubby at King Tubby's this fully re-mastered package also includes Welton Irie's top-ranking 'Ghettoman Corner' set, the pairing gives the listener both a sung and deejayed version of these classic Glen Brown produced roots rhythms ('Slaving,' 'Glen Brown at Cross Roads,' 'Cleanliness Is Holiness')."

"Classic roots reggae album from 1982 produced by Prince Jammy at Channel One and King Tubby's. Includes the hit singles 'Ism Skism' and 'Ain't No Me Without You' as well as the anthemic title track. Youthman Skanking is a sterling addition to what would become known as the roots-based 'Waterhouse Sound' spearheaded by Black Uhuru. Wayne Smith and Jammy would go on to be a major influence on the whole world of music with the game changing, genre defying hit 'Under Me Sleng Teng' but Youthman Skanking is where it all began."

"Zungguzungguguzungguzeng went on to become a signature tune for Yellowman when coupled up on a massive hit Greensleeves 12" Disco 45 with 'Who can make the dance Ram.' Both sides on this set feature the group in their dance-corking glory. The album, produced by Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, is rightly regarded as a dancehall classic and highlights a wicked selection of Yellowman duets with his longtime spa Fathead. Zungguzungguguzungguzeng was proof then and now that as for ramming the dance, if anyone can, Yellowman can. Recorded and mixed at Joe Gibbs and Channel One. Engineered by Errol Thompson and Soldgie. Back by Radics and Hi-Times Band."

"Dancehall singjay Half Pint recorded some of the genre's early classics during the first half of the '80s. His appeal outside Jamaica was somewhat limited by his willingness to repeat simple musical ideas, but the best of his work was frequently brilliant. He was the first major artist produced by Prince Jammy (later King Jammy), and together they helped establish a lighter, more relaxed, more melodic approach to dancehall that made for an easy transition into the digital ragga era. While Half Pint's subject matter was mostly romantic, he also offered the occasional conscious lyrics, which for a time made him an exception in the dancehall world among both singers and DJs (his vocal delivery contained elements of both styles, but was weighted more toward the former)."

"Dub companion to the 'five-star' 1978 release, Africa Must Be Free By 1983, this album underscores the relationship be-tween producer Augustus Pablo and performer Hugh Mundell. Pablo's dub productions, mixed by King Jammy form the perfect complement to these classic rhythms and melodies. Re-mastered for release in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Greensleeves label, the album is example of why Augustus Pablo continues to inspire reggae music fans and musicians these decades later."

2023 repress. Originally released in 1984, reissued in 2015. "Muggers in the Street was released in 1984, and features Junior Murvin in a proto-dancehall mode. The backing band Roots Radics provide bouncy rhythms and Murvin's buoyant vocals are in fine form. Junior Murvin's falsetto became the voice of late '70s social unrest in Jamaica and England, influencing not only reggae artists, but also punk rockers like the Clash."

Reissue, originally released in 1982. "R&B has long been a major influence on reggae (just as it influenced ska and, before that, mento). In the early 1980s, different reggae artists were being influenced by different types of R&B -- some were getting into slick, keyboard-driven urban contemporary sounds, while others maintained their devotion to 1960s and 1970s soul. On 1982's Big Ship, Freddie McGregor's love of African-American soul music comes through loud and clear -- even though many of the more Rastafarian-oriented lyrics are very much a product of the Jamaican experience. True to form, the singer provides a variety of political and apolitical songs. While gems like 'Holy Mount Zion' and 'Get United' underscore his political/spiritual beliefs as a Rastafarian, McGregor favors more of a lovers rock approach on 'Let Me Be the One,' 'Stop Loving You,' and 'Sweet Lady.' In reggae circles, the term lovers rock refers to reggae that chooses romantic themes over social or political topics -- essentially, it is the reggae equivalent of romantic R&B. And any soul lover who has spent a lot of time savoring the romantic sweet soul of the Delfonics or Brenton Wood should have no problem getting into the lovers rock on this album. For that matter, McGregor's more sociopolitical songs have just as much classic soul appeal..." --AllMusic
